    Wow, great review! Very helpful dude.

    Since you mentioned it several times in your post, I'm tempted to download all all your videos and use them to generate a noise frequency chart. Not sure if I have the time though, nor am I sure if it'll be truly helpful.

    Glad it helps. I'm not really interested in those types of fans due to their lack of seal for radiator applications. You'd have to build some sort of shroud I think. Anyhow, I bought a couple of other fans I have sitting here waiting, but I can't seem to muster any more energy to test them.

    I think I had my filling of fans for a while. As with any testing it gets a bit drab and boring after about the first 5 tests or so.

    Maybe later I'll play around again, but for now I'm up to my elbows in grease working on engine rebuilding again.. Horsepower & Speed are something I can never seem to grow tired of..

    That would be cool. Maybe just try it on a couple of fans to start out with. I'd be interested in the frequency response too.
